MIFF 2013: A First Film, Forever: Giuseppe Tornatore

A First Film, Forever: Giuseppe Tornatore was a public panel presentation presented in MIFF 2013 as part of the Talking Pictures Program. Oscar-winner Giuseppe Tornatore, director of the enduringly beloved Cinema Paradiso, came to MIFF in 2013 year with his newest film, The Best Offer, starring Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess and Donald Sutherland. Tornatore in conversation with David Stratton talked about his passion for cinema, and making every film your first film.

This was the third of a series of six events I photographed for MIFF 2013 (Melbourne International Festival). The Forum Theater is an ornate venue well suited to the the great Italian film director Giuseppe Tornatore. I photographed this event with the Nikon D4 and the 70-200mm f2.8. To capture the grandeur of the venue I added the Nikkor 10mm DX Fisheye to my arsenal.
